Tubgirl comes to mind. The horror…
This sounds like the beginning of a terrible joke - “Hey Ted! What does a sphincter say?”
“I dunno - I’ll look it up on the internet!”
You know I’d never wondered that before myself, but now you’ve got me curious.
(edit: making me the second of two inquiring minds)
I only read the first half-dozen or so of the comments, and had to quit because of the tears of laughter running down my face.
Excellent catch, OP.
Did y’all check out this part? I find it even funnier that someone is actually trying to straighten all of this out. If it wasn’t for the date, I actually would have thought it was one of you guys.
“Hey Phil! It says: PHHTHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
A sphincter says what?
Isn’t that what copy machines are for?
There’s a sentence I never thought I’d read.
I was sure you guys had already listed all the really funny parts, but this still brought tears to my eyes.
“I have actually considered taking a photo of my own anus for the article (as far as I am aware, mine is pretty typical) just to put an end to this.”
Rather embarassing to explain to my husband why I was laughing.
I don’t think it looks very useful - imagine trying to use that anus as an umbrella stand, or as a combat weapon. Hopeless.
Didn’t the Riddle of the Sphincter figure in the story of Oedipus Rex?
“Hence, I have reverted the page to its old form. The editor who moved the page is encouraged to write more about nonhuman anuses within the ‘Anus’ article, as is the accepted form on the other pages. Neiladri (talk) 15:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)”
We need more about non human anuses!
But it doesn’t. A NOSE smells. And as we know:
I think I may use
“! This is **not a forum **for general discussion of Human Anus.”
as my sig line.
On the contrary, an anus can be an extremely effective combat weapon. Think “chemical warfare.” “weapon of mass destruction.”
(weapon of “ass” destruction?)
What does it say about me that I’m waiting for this thread to morph into a serious discussion SDMB style of how the Wiki page really should read on the topic. I mean really, the Wiki contributors can’t be expected to solve this problem any more than 4chan or YouTube posters would. One again the Dope saves the day.
